Great topic and one of my biggest aggravations while camping. Most folks have no clue just how fast they are going. A simple glance down at the speedometer or GPS can clear that up. When the CG is posted 10 mph that is the MXIMUM speed limit in good weather and broad daylight assuming the roads are in good shape and "10" means "10"!
Seems like the worst offenders are the folks rushing to get into their site. I've seen large RV's, often towing, driving 30+ in 10 mph CG's. The roads are narrow and there are often kids, dogs and fat old people {like me}, who are at risk. When possible I try to get a site that is not on one of the primary access roads and never hesitate to speak up to the Camp Host's if I observe a problem.
Sadly, most of the hosts jus throw up their hands and say they can't do anything.... which is NOT true. I will not hesitate to call local law enforcement if the hosts won't and ignore the problem and when they arrive the offenders better hope they have not been drinking.
When folks ignore the problem it always gets worse. Rant off.... for now.
:S
